Increase efficiency and productivity of the Audit Process. Learn how to effectively gain insight into risk. Learn how to reduce risk and improve the audit process.

1. Organizations are facing disruptive risks:
globalization, transformative technologies,
and complex regulations
Business and Economic Risks
The global economic environment has become extremely
complex, where risk can be rapidly heightened or diminished
depending on geological factors. Companies face economic
risks as they enter emerging markets or react to geopolitical
risks such as the massive demographic shift. Auditors need
better insight into new risks, to continuously monitor
effectiveness of existing controls and to design new controls
to mitigate untreated risks.
Technology and Data Protection Risks
Technological innovation is challenging business models that
have been the industry standard. Consider the effect ride
sharing has had on the way the taxi industry has been operating
for decades or how internet-based streaming services have
changed the way television programs are purchased and
consumed. Auditors are being asked to assess technology
risks such as cyberattacks on corporate data and business
systems that enable significant enterprise processes.
Regulatory and Reporting Risks
Financial and reputational consequences of non-compliance
with regulations is significant. However, the regulation
standards are continuously being revised. Financial reporting
guidance on the classification of revenue, leases, and
measurement of financial assets is changing across the globe.
In addition, disclosure of non-financial information beyond
the traditional annual report is becoming critical to the audit
committee’s reporting oversight mandate.

enterprise audit process
Effective Resource Management
You can schedule projects and resources
so there is a clear visual demonstration of
personnel assignments and tracking of
projects in an annual plan.
Audit Analytics with Interactive
Dashboards and Reports
Use interactive dashboards for real-time
corrective action modeling and allow
business managers to explore risk exposure
in an ad hoc manner. You can easily access
audit dashboards remotely over a smartphone
or any mobile device.
Audit Analytics extracts data from ERP
systems such as SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite,
PeopleSoft, and J D Edwards to improve
testing effectiveness and findings across the
enterprise in a single integrated solution.
Dataprobe™ collects audit samples from ERP
systems and stores control evidence.

2. Audit Platform-as-a-Service for the Digital Enterprise
Risk-Based Audit Management
• Implement risk assessment processes to meet your organization
objectives. Maintain your Risk Library with Process, Risks and Controls
• Manage Enterprise Risk Ratings such as Impact and Likelihood,
which best describe your approach to risk evaluation
• Manage Control Design based on contextual framework to measure
Risk Factors before controls (inherent), after controls (residual), or both
Audit Planning
• The Audit Planning module enables you to schedule projects and
resources so there is a clear view of fieldwork assignments and
tracking of audit testing in an annual plan
• The easy-to-use web-based planning tool can be configured for
small or large groups, allowing multiple plans to support enterprise
audit objectives
Resource Management
• Resource Management enables audit planners to assign resources
to audit plans based on resource specific skills, credentials, lan-
guages, experience or locations to meet the needs of a project
• Improve resource utilization by tracking and monitoring estimated
project costs (both internal and external). Automatically detect
conflict to easily identify when you are about to create a conflict –
and if conflicts exist, easily resolve them
• Custom views to allow planners and auditors to focus on their key
projects and information to manage the audit plan
Audit Analytics
• Improve audit findings by replacing random sampling, spread-
sheets, or generic business intelligence with audit analytics that are
purposely built to detect anomalies or patterns in any data-source
to provide better assurance for business processes and controls
• Take a snapshot of any ERP system to map and translate your data
into actionable insight. With advanced fuzzy matching, you can
prevent operational losses such as duplicate supplier payments
We enable internal auditors to:
• Efficiently manage the complete audit
program
• Continuously analyze enterprise data
for qualitative and quantitative risk
assessment
• Improve controls testing by leveraging
the controls catalog to detect deficiency
• Ensure timely issue-remediation with
workflow-based collaboration
Field Work
Improve audit efficiency by enabling testers in the field to follow
detailed test instructions during the fieldwork phase. Create
findings and assign remediation activities to person-in-charge.
Test major internal controls based on the accuracy and timeliness
of transactions as control evidence. Test automated controls during
the fieldwork phase.
Electronic Work Papers Management
Maintain all audit information such as test steps, issues, notes,
sign-offs, and edit histories in a secure central data vault. Enable
audit team to access real-time, role-based security, facilitate filtering
and sorting of key documents which is superior to the error-prone
document-based file systems.
Filter and sort content instantly to view test procedures assigned to
you, ready for review, high risk, edited after review, etc.
Issue and Remediation Workflows
Workflow enabled issue and remediation management tracks
findings from all audit engagements and allows you to track the
implementation status of recommendations made by your
department and related management action plans.
You can facilitate issue follow-up, trend analysis, prior audit review,
and committee reporting.
Management can easily access the findings and perform remediation
actions in a timely manner to reduce overall risk exposure.
Role-based access ensures that data and functions are only
accessible and available based on the role and authorization each
user is assigned.
Automated ERP Controls Testing
You can continuously monitor business activities within your
enterprise applications with instant access to the largest
catalog of automated application monitors covering 1,000+
business objects for major processes such as Procure-to-Pay,
Order-to-Cash, Hire-to-Retire, Design-to-Ship, and Financial
Record-to-Report. You can test ERP configuration controls by
enforcing consistent application setup that consistent with
operating standards.
